Awad capitalizes on readers' unease by deftly presenting the girls' debate as juvenile, commonplace, and blind to any number of horrific ramifications. Awad illustrates the restlessness of youth that results after the girls " exhausted every topic of conversation," eaten random desserts, and eventually consider prostituting themselves. The opening story, "When We Went Against the Universe," introduces us to Lizzie and her friend, Mel, two bored teens who flirt with the idea of approaching a group of businessmen eating at McDonald's. Billed as a novel, the book is structured as thirteen interconnected stories that trace the life of of a girl-from overweight, teenaged Lizzie, struggling to find her place, to thin Elizabeth, who has achieved weight loss but whose relationships are colored by her history. In 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl, Mona Awad examines the body as a public object, a prison, a prize, and most interestingly as a passport to freedom or the pursuit of it. ![]()
